"The Empress Dowager, the young master and his wife have already left the palace."

Madam Chang came in and said.

The queen mother nodded and looked at the package at hand. It was made of something that Tang Shu gave her, some spices and some gadgets. Not only that, Tang Shu also brought a lot of cakes when he came over.

"Shu'er is also very considerate. She is not only sensible, but also well-behaved. It would be great if Xun'er could calm down."

"I see that the young master is also kind of caring for his wife." said Madam Chang, "Look at your birthday party, the young master is also protecting his wife."

The Empress Dowager smiled, "If he is sincere, the Ai family will be happy." She said, "The Ai family sees that Shu'er is also one of the few smart people, and this is a good intention. If Xun'er can live with her well, Prince Jing's Mansion will naturally have a descendant."

...

Outside the imperial city, only Xu Xiuyuan, Qi Tianning and Chu Yun came to see them off.

When I came back, although there were many people, I didn’t bring a lot of things. But when I left, the things were loaded with a carriage. There were things prepared by the emperor and the queen mother for them, and some were purchased by them themselves.

Among them are rouge and water powder, but Tang Shu didn't buy it for himself, but instead bought it to study how to make rouge and water powder by himself.

"Be careful on the road. If I have time in the future, I will come and see you." Xu Xiuyuan said.

"Okay, cousin." Tang Shu nodded, "I'm so concerned about the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion."

Xu Xiuyuan wanted to say that there was nothing to worry about in the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion, and there were people from the royal palace to help take care of him, but he did not say such words, but nodded and agreed.

"It's time to leave." Chu Xun said softly.

Tang Shu looked at the sky. It was actually still early, but they had to hurry up.

"Cousin, Fourth Prince, Young Master Qi, goodbye." Tang Shu would not say those literary words, and he had already explained everything he should have. He should hurry up to avoid sleeping in the wilderness.

"Take care all the way." Chu Yun said seriously.

There will be assassination when I come back, but I am afraid I won’t be very calm when I go back.

Tang Shu nodded, and then he got on the carriage with Chu Xun and left.

In fact, Tang Shu has his own opinion on assassination.

The other party is targeting himself on the surface, but his real purpose is not necessarily. However, the origin of those assassins has not been investigated now.

"Those assassins don't think they are the second prince or the eldest prince, and they don't know who sent them." Tang Shu said.

Chu Xun asked her to lean in his arms and said, "No matter who it is, there will always be a day when the legs are exposed."

"This is the reason, that is, the enemy is dark and I am not strong enough." Tang Shu said carelessly, "I am still more used to nipping danger in the cradle."

"It's good to do this, but it's good to play with them. Just treat it as a game." Chu Xun said.

Tang Shu thought about it and felt it was right, otherwise this life would be a bit boring.

Chu San and Chu Si listened to their conversation and drove the carriage speechlessly.

The return journey was much faster, and the group did not delay along the way. It had arrived in the northwest in about ten days.

While they were rushing, Chu Qi and the others were also working hard to sort out the endgame here in Baoze Mountain.

Perhaps when Chu Xun and his friends arrived in the capital, someone attacked Baoze Mountain at night, and the other party was prepared, and the purpose was very clear, which was to destroy the construction of Baoze Mountain.

Now there are people living in Baoze Mountain, but not many of them. Some of them are their own people, and Yu Long and others. But there are more people on the other side, and no matter how powerful Chu Qi and others are, they cannot turn the tide.

Even though they tried their best to stop the assassins, Baozeshan was still very tragic.

Half of the trees that had survived were burned, and the workshops were burned. Not only that, the vegetable garden and the medicine garden were also sprinkled with poison. When they went to see the next day, the vegetables in the vegetable garden had withered, and half of the herbs in the medicine garden were dead.

There is also the house they live in. Tang Shu and the others have kept it, but most of the house they live in is destroyed by the other party. The walls were pushed and several big holes were broken on the roof. This is not counting, and the houses of the people living here are not spared.

Like Zhang Wenhuo's home, Tang Shu later asked Master Li to build another house for them. Although it was not a blue brick house, the house was also good, and it was destroyed by those who were now.

Now that the new house has been repaired, Chu Qi also built a blue brick house for them, which will be more solid. If the other party lights the fire, it will not burn everything in one go.

It was exactly ten days when Chu Xun and Tang Shu came back.

Chu San and Chu Si looked at the different scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Why did it take more than a month to leave? This place has changed so much, and the people have also built brick houses.

When Chu Xun came out, he also discovered the difference between Baoze Mountain, especially those trees, which seemed to be much less.

"What's going on?" Tang Shu stood up, "Can Aunt Cao and the others figured it out?"

Before, Tang Shu said that Zhang Wenhuo and the others should have brick houses, but they refused. After all, brick houses are too expensive. They are all ordinary people who rely on farming to make money to support their families. They can't save much money all year round. They really don't want to spend the money they saved.

"Something must have happened." Chu Xun said, signaling her to look at the trees.

Tang Shu looked at it and felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it.

There were hundreds of trees planted before, at least Baoze Mountain was not as bare as before, with trees and green grass. But now, the green area on Baoze Mountain seemed to have disappeared.

Not only on Baoze Mountain, but also on both sides of the river, there are also fewer trees.

Tang Shu and Chu Xun were thinking about what was going on. Some children there found out that they were back, and then hurried to inform their elders. Soon, Cao and several workshop workers came over, and Chu Qi rushed back from a distance.

"Young Master, Madam, you are back." Cao said with a happy look, but he was still a little worried. If the young master and the others knew what was going on, they would not know if they would be very angry.

Tang Shu nodded, "Was something happened when we were not here?"

The Cao and the others looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.

"Madam, it was about half a month ago. There were suddenly many men in black coming at night. They burned trees and workshops for fire, and even our house was burned."
